    Woman's chilling encounter at David Jones leads to a dire warning for all men

    Absolutely agree!! - We take away everybody’s phone because some pervert used theirs for unacceptable purposes? That girl could have been in a very dangerous situation had it not been in a store and she would have needed her phone more than anything else to get her out of trouble!!! What so we...

    Police arrests gardener after suburb incident claims life of 74-year-old grandfather

    Yes I do know this and it’s a huge problem- but this man was not known to police according to the article and others I’ve read about the same incident- I agree the judiciary let down the police and the public at every turn and something has to be gone about that.

    Tough question to answer, that one! You’re never going to win brownie points - she will believe what she wants to until someone or something (maybe a therapist) can change her perception of herself. There’s so much more going on here than just self image. Hope she can come to terms with the...

    A Very Important Thing That Only Grandmothers Know: ‘Who giveth this woman?’

    Hard to find after a lifetime of putting everyone else before yourself - keep searching, even if it’s small victories- like “I don’t want to cook dinner tonight I’m going to have a nice hot bath and read my book in bed with a glass of wine” I don’t know your circumstances, but in most cases...

    A Very Important Thing That Only Grandmothers Know: ‘Who giveth this woman?’

    I hear you Josephine! My mother broke the mold in our family- it didn’t lead to a happy life for her children but she got to determine her own way - don’t know that it brought her much joy - sad to say! I followed in her footsteps- and had a tumultuous life and put my children through more than...

    2024-25 federal budget set to ‘alleviate pocket pressures’ amid cost-of-living crisis

    You won't believe what Coles and Woolies charge for a popular fruit: ‘Good luck selling them’

    There are plenty of farmers markets around depending on where you live that way you can eat the fruit and veg in season and help the farmers - trust me leaving them on the shelf won’t help the growers, the supermarkets will just stop buying their stock and it’ll go to landfill How can that be a...

    You won't believe what Coles and Woolies charge for a popular fruit: ‘Good luck selling them’

    Exactly buying fruit in season is what we’re meant to do - if you want blueberries out of season then buy frozen ones, they’re often cheaper anyway and just as good for you as the fresh ones particularly if they’re not in season so have been forced to grow under artificial conditions Good for...

    Grocery budget squeeze: This pantry item is 47 per cent more expensive now

    I only buy organic olive oil because of the adulteration I have been told about. There has been a shortage of home brand organic olive oil for the last month or so and then I bought Australian grown olive oil, believing it to be more honestly grown- I hope it is 😬
